Ethics Moral State
A moral state is a snapshot of an agent's ethical position, defined by a measurable imbalance in how they treat others.
Ethics Moral State Balanced Opposite Skews
In the Recognition Science framework, two moral states are balanced exactly when their reciprocity skews sum to zero, a definitional choice that makes balance a precise arithmetic
Ethics Moral State Energy Always Positive
In the Recognition Science framework, every admissible moral state carries a strictly positive energy, a theorem its machine-checked library proves.
Ethics Moral State Globally Admissible Append
A list of morally balanced agents stays balanced when two balanced lists are joined, a formal theorem with a precise scope.
Ethics Moral State Globally Admissible Map Of Skew Preserving
A formal lemma shows that any transformation which preserves each agent's reciprocity imbalance also preserves the global condition for a morally admissible state.
Ethics Moral State Neutral Self Balanced
A single formal theorem pins down when a moral state is balanced with itself, and the proof is a one-line algebraic identity.
Ethics Moral State Time Coherent Nil
A machine-checked proof that a list with no entries vacuously satisfies the framework's time-coherence condition.
Ethics Moral State Total Energy Positive Of Nonempty
A machine-checked theorem says any nonempty collection of moral states has positive total energy; here is what that does and does not mean.
